Introduction:

Thank you for requesting information on BE-WIND products.

The BE-WIND product line was founded and developed from the aerospace industry. Over 10 years in

development and testing, using the state of art Design software and manufacturing process. We

ourselves spent many years researching the requirements and concerns of invested people in the small

wind market. Having set high goals to produce a product that was efficient and durable. The result

was our patented Dual Axis Vertical turbine with a diversion and accelerator for a front shield. The

forward shield not only prevents the wind force on the back side of the rotating blades, but also

accelerates air flow to the production side of the blades. The second turbine gives us balance and

redundancy, in the event of a malfunction to one of the power supplies.

Our focus is to supplement your power needs as best as possible. Trying to reduce dependency from

the grid and increasing energy costs. We make no claims to remove 100% of your power

consumption, but we hope to put a reasonable dent into it.

If Off grid is your requirement, we can support Storage systems and join with Solar to offer a Hybrid

approach to maintain a 24-hour power source. We offer one of the best Warranties in the business and

stand behind our US manufactured product.

Please review the current systems available and do not hesitate to contact us for questions and support.

POWER DATA UNLOADED SUPPLIED BY GENERATOR MANUFACTURE:

Below is power production data in an unloaded condition. Since every location will be different, we

have calculated the data to show power generation based on Wind speed, torque and Blade RPM, we

recommend a survey of the average winds at your location to determine average power generation.

Our current collected data shows lower power production than shared by the direct generator

manufacture, while under loads, so please assume less production when loaded to grid connection or

battery storage.

The key aspect to our data, is redundancy. Since we are the only solution with two generators, you are

sure to have power, even if one of the units goes down for any reason.

Continuous power in extreme conditions is our main goal. All green energy is subject to the

environment, solar (Sun, clouds, Sand, water), Wind (Amount and speed, Height from the ground).

Understanding the need to secure constant energy, we are strong believers in Hybrid Wind/Solar

applications. We have been working with solar teams worldwide, to support this program.

THE DATA.

This data represents the power curve of an individual generator as we need to convert

3phase AC to DC. As mostly all inverters convert the DC to single phase AC or stay as DC for

Battery charging. Then multiply the data below by 2 for dual generators.

Since every installation is different and loads are variable, this gives you an estimated wind generator

Output as represented by the manufacture.

Note: Understanding the data.

By: Ian Woofenden.

“To understand power curves, it is important to not look at the top end, as this will only happen

occasionally on any wind system. Trying to compare one wind generator to another using power

curves is another common mistake. While there is some useful comparative information in the curves,

it’s not a simple comparison, and people too often scrutinize turbines poorly, looking primarily at the

peak.

For example, I’ve lived with two turbines that shared about the same peak on their

power curves—yet one produced 2.3 times more energy than the other in similar conditions.”

Why Unloaded Data?

We have come to realize that every load is slightly different as well as wind locations, Power draw and

applications involved with our small systems. These are not large systems and operate slightly different.

We recommend storage as first option as this is a fixed load and grid tie as an alternative connection.

NEW PRODUCTS AND ACCESSORIES: In 2018 BE-WIND is working to expand its products and Configurations.

With the introduction of a new lightweight composite system and a zero-maintenance offering.

CONSTRUCTION:

The new super structure will be composed of “FRP” (Fiber reinforced Plastic)

and “HDPE” (High-Density Polyethylene)

Both these materials are used in high construction environments, with high strength to density ratio. The FRP used in

marine and building structures and can be bonded with a high strength resin, eliminating any welding and after

machining. Availability is almost anywhere and can be machined thru a simple process of water jetting and small CNC

machines for accurate hole and mounting locations.

The Blades and blade support will remain the same. Currently the front shield will remain the same product but under

new design review. The Universal base structure will be fully constructed from “FRP” and will also be bonded with

resin.

The main base and Top support have been reduced in thickness to offer lower cost and ease of shipping.

New to the system will the first maintenance free wind turbine with Iglide technology, Self-Lubricating and

Maintenance free, eliminating all bearings as we know them. The material is noncorrosive and can survive in salt water

conditions for many decades. No lubrication required on any portion of the turbine.

General features of iglide® plain bearings

Self-lubricating, Corrosion resistance, Maintenance-free, Media resistant

High compressive strengths, Low coefficients of friction, High mechanical dampening

High dirt resistance, Lightweight, Best wear-resistance, Excellent price/performance ratio

This New system currently will come in one configuration. EOW-200-C exact specification as the Original EOW-200

But composed of different materials. 2.0 KW low voltage 112 VAC designed for Battery Storage system.

Only option available would be the LED lighting package.

This system will carry 5-year structural

warranty with 2 years on Generators and

electronics. The standard color will be an

all-Black color design.

Included will be a simple Rectifier

solution to convert 3pahse AC to DC

With an MPPT Charge controller

Designed for 12/24/48 volt systems.

Also Available Soon for the market will be our Micro system. In 2018 we hope to continue to build wind systems

That offer solutions for multiple applications. The Micro system is designed to be the smallest but yet most efficient

wind system on the market. With only a 4 ft total height, this unit is designed for the most severe locations and

And smallest power requirements. With a 1 kw output 2x .5 kw generators. This EOW-Micro can be used for

Tiny home constructions, Tree House constructions, Telecom tower locations, Mountain top and areas of extreme

weather, such as remote Polar application. It is also possible to mount this unit on Vehicles or trailers while in motion.

Constructed from composite materials such as the EOW-200

composite. This unit also includes the Iglide bearing

technology. Please contact BE-WIND for further information.

Electronics: At BE-WIND we are constantly trying to find the next generation technology. With the enhancements of Solar

technology, Wind systems can also take advantage of new devices. A Wind DC optimizer has been developed in

partnership with a UK electronics firm to support the dual frequency input and the option to have a single inverter

solution. The other key aspect is to allow wind systems to take advantage of Solar Inverters that have far more

Monitoring and expandability as well reduced cost. Currently our Optimizer is approved to work with ABB

UNO-DM Solar inverters. UL certified for North American, this is BE-WINDs choice of Grid tie application.

For MPPT controllers, there are hundreds of options and our Low voltage systems should work with just about

Any of them. With high voltage systems we are focused on MorningStar V600-TS-MPPT. This allows us to use high

Voltage 220 3phase generators and rectify to DC for Voltages 220 and above.
